I used to like Guiness until I started drinking other Stout's and now I think it's piss.

I love his videos. He seems really happy with what he makes and he also appears to be very open to criticism and advice.

It has stopped fermenting in any visible manner. But now I have this white build up inside the carboy where the beer is. Not above the beer but where the beer is. Anyone have any idea what this is? It reminds me of soap build up.

It's a 6.5 Gallon Carboy. I use it for the Primary for the extra head space and I have a smaller one for secondary.

Update: Here is how it looks 5 days later(last night). http://youtube.com/watch?v=K4n9QE2lhDU

I'll give it a couple days before I throw more yeast in. Thanks all.

Hi All, I brewed up a Rasputen's(Russian Imperial Stout) clone Saturday night and noticed this morning that my Primary was a tad cold at 62 degrees. I didn't check on it yesterday. There is zero activity right now. I'm doing a 5 gallon batch and I pitched one WL001. Any thoughts on...

Just an update: I bottled this last Sunday and it smelled and tasted fantastic going into the bottle. I'm going to let this sit in the bottle for 3 weeks before cracking one open. They are 1 Litre flip tops. I can't wait to taste it.

I did dry hop it. I forgot what I used though!

I've been busy and unable to find time to bottle an IPA I put in the secondary. It's been almost 2 months in the secondary now. Do you all think this is worth bottling at this point? It's stayed relatively cool in it's current location.

My gravity is right on the money. HRMMM

I started an IPA last Sunday and it started off after 36 hours and continued to bubble until yesterday. At wich time I figured it was ready to go to the secondary. I shuffled the Carboy into the kitchen and onto the kitchen counter. As I was preping for the siphon my Primary started bubbling...

I happened upon this on YouTube. I know it's really unlikely.

On my first brew I pitched my yeast too early(the wort was 80+ degrees) and because of this it took days longer to get going. I would be patient. If you are really impatient like me go buy a Carboy and ingredients and start another batch. This will take your mind off of it. :)

Hi All, I'm looking for some general and technical input. I am a big fan of North Coast Brewing Old Rasputin and I would like to try and make a beer as close as possible. I have some questions though. Is this type of beer feasible with Extract brewing? Most of the recipes I have found...

I'm pretty new to Brewing but morebeer.com has been a good online resource for me. I am really lucky that I also live within driving distance of their Concord California storefront. That place is the Toys R Us of brewing. I also use a local store called Brew and Wine Makers of America (...

Russian River is #1 in my book. They completely changed my perception of brewing. Deschutes used to be my favorite when I lived in Bend, Oregon. Now they are a distant second. Ever since they moved their production from Bend to Colorado it just hasn't been the same.

What the heck is a "starter"?

I will definately be looking into a chiller option. I've managed to not go look at my primary for a few hours now. :)

I just ran downstairs and pulled out my airlock to empty it. I had already put rubbing alcohol in the airlock right before posting my original message. It now has regular water(no vodka available). I think a few drops of alcohol may have made it into the primary. *CRY* How much rubbing...
